Tennessee Titans SS Bernard Pollard has been informed that he will be released, according to sources familiar with the situation. Pollard asked the Titans to release him last month. He was scheduled to make $3.1 million in 2015.

Tennessee Titans assistant head coach Dick LeBeau will have some influence on who the team takes in this year's draft, according to general manager Ruston Webster. The Titans will have to get better at linebacker to improve as a whole on defense, and LeBeau's team's in Pittsburgh often excelled because of superior linebacker play. LeBeau may try to convince the Titans to pass on a quarterback with the No. 2 overall pick in the draft for a defensive player such as Southern California LB Leonard Williams, who is considered the top defensive player available.

Fantasy Tip: Mettenberger is the No. 1 quarterback at this point, but the team could bring in another quarterback this offseason to compete with him. Mettenberger probably should be considered a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in fantasy drafts if he is able to win the starting job.

Fantasy Tip: This sounds like a team that wants Mettenberger to stay as a backup. Mettenberger should be avoided as a starting option in most fantasy leagues unless he ends up with the starting job. If that is the case, Mettenberger projects as a QB2.

Fantasy Tip: If the Titans do use the second pick overall on a quarterback, they will have to compete with Zach Mettenberger for the starting job in the fall. Either QB would be better suited as a weak QB2 in standard leagues, and could be a useful option in FantasyScore contests depending on the matchup and price.

Fantasy Tip: If Mettenberger secures the starting job, he showed he can be useful when the matchup is favorable. However, he is more of a QB2 in standard fantasy leagues, and a must-start in formats which use two signal callers. He can be a helpful option in FantasyScore if the price is right, too.
